Back up WhatsApp messages on iPhone via iCloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you worry about any losses about WhatsApp messages on iPhone, the first method you can adopt is to back up WhatsApp messages on iPhone via iCloud. iCloud is a private cloud space provided by Apple for Apple users, which is convenient for Apple users to share personal data between different devices. It allows users to store 5GB of data for free. iCloud organically combines elements such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/how-to-watch-music-videos-in-apple-music-1361.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Apple Music Services<\/strong><\/a>, system backup, file transfer, notebook and tablet device product lines, and is very closely linked. As well, for WhatsApp users, you can choose to use iCloud to store your messages which can be shared permanently. Then, if you would like to restore your WhatsApp messages back to your iPhone, you only need to simply install WhatsApp on your new phones and restore the messages from iCloud to sync the information automatically. Now, I will give you the detailed steps to restore WhatsApp messages from iCloud backup.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1.<\/b> Open \u201cSettings\u201d on your iPhone. Scroll down and you would find your Apple ID on the very top of the settings list. If you then need to log into the Apple ID on another new iPhone, remember you should use the same Apple ID so that the data could be synced then.<\/p>\n<p><b>Step 2.<\/b> Locate \u201ciCloud\u201d under the Apple ID panel. Log into your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/how-to-transfer-contacts-from-one-icloud-account-to-another-1361.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>iCloud account<\/strong><\/a> and slide down to the bottom where you can find \u201ciCloud Drive\u201d option. Turn this option on and check whether WhatsApp option has been enabled or not. Once this option has been activated, then all the data, including WhatsAPP messages could be backed up to iCloud then.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/back-up-whatsapp-message-via-iCloud-01.jpg\" alt=\"back-up-whatsapp-message-via-iCloud 01\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\">\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Step 3.<\/b> Open WhatsApp, and go to \u201cSettings\u201d, then locate \u201cChats\u201d where you need to choose \u201cChat Backup\u201d tab. This is to enable all WhatsApp messages history could be backed up accordingly. Then, click \u201cBack Up Now\u201d option to save your WhatsApp messages to iCloud automatically. Once you have chosen this option, later, your WhatsApp chats would be backed up automatically every day, week or month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tc\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.leawo.org\/tutorial\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/back-up-whatsapp-message-via-iCloud-02.jpg\" alt=\"back-up-whatsapp-message-via-iCloud 02\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\">\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Step 4.<\/b> Download and install WhatsApp on your new iPhone. Once the app has been installed on your iPhone, then you can see the option \u201cRestore Chat History\u201d, then what you need to do is to recover backed up WhatsApp messages by tapping on it and all WhatsApp messages would be backed up from iCloud to your current phone. <\/p>\n<p>Before backing up WhatsApp messages via iCloud, you should be clear that iCloud would only be available for 5GB data. If you have already stored many other stuff on iCloud, remember to make another new backup before deleting them to release more space for WhatsApp chat. This is the best way to make sure all your user data have been protected from being lost. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"m2\" class=\"wp-part pl20 mt10\"><strong>Method 2. Back up WhatsApp messages on iPhone by exporting them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In comparison, if you are familiar with recovering WhatsApp messages on iPhone via iCloud, then the second solution would be more proper to you. You can make full use of the new feature and function of WhatsApp on iPhone.

Then, after exporting, you can directly download and transfer the chat from these third-party programs to other phones. This is actually more convenient for some users. But at the same time, one of the biggest disadvantages is that you can only view WhatsApp messages on these programs, but you are not allowed to import these chat history to WhatsApp anymore. If you are interested in this method, please refer to the following steps. <\/p>\n<p><b>Step 1.<\/b> Open WhatsApp on your iPhone. Then you can see your chatting list on the main interface.
